There is actually a duty cycle on the starter motor to protect it from burning out and I recall it is 6 seconds on and 10 seconds off.
I find that after 6 seconds of cranking and 30 seconds off on cold days makes a big difference.
On the coldest days it may take 4 attempts at most, but this cycle works for me - and it means I am not cooking the starter motor.
Once it is warm - it starts first time. Do you have difficulty starting after it has been warmed up? If so then maybe something strange is going on.
Cheers,
Paul
